Chris Stephen, who came up to Kim Kardashian in black face at the Vienna Opera Ball, pretending to be Kanye West has duely apologized to the TV personality. He claims the entire encounter was a misunderstanding  and that he did not mean to offend Kim.
 
The stand-up comedian in Austria posted the apology on his Facebook, saying he is "incredibly sorry" things unfolded the way they did. He says he is of Arab descent himself, and never intended to be racist.

As we reported, Kim stormed out of the fancy pants ball yesterday after Stephan came up to her in black face make-up, acting like Kanye.

Kim was paid $500,000 to be the guest of Austrian businessman Richard Lugner at the event.
